Would be a lot more interesting if they got rid of the awful “select which photos the app can access” flow and just forced apps to use the system picker.
Agree - I don't know why this isn't the default, or why "all photos" needs to exist in the first place. The only valid use case I can think of is for selecting an image from a gallery in-app.
Other examples where all photos are required, if maybe not valid: third party automatic photo backup, showing a random photo on a widget, prompting a user to post a photo of a location to Google Maps automatically…
It should be possible to allow access to all files, or allow picking a single file. The weird intermediary where I need to first select that I don’t want to allow access to all files, then select the files I do want (the single file I’m posting/sending), then select that file again from the app’s custom picker from amongst the files I’ve previously shared with that app, is absolutely awful. Steve is rolling in his grave.
Definitely. And it would be a lot more interesting if they tracked it for a few months and then rolled out the reporting feature retroactively :)
